About the data

The Minimum Connection Times shown on this page are derived from a structured, zone-based model that reflects the operational reality of passenger transfers at this airport. Instead of relying on airline-specific or published booking rules, each connection is calculated from explicit process components such as walking distances, security screening, immigration and customs requirements, and airport layout complexity. This approach allows consistent comparisons across airports and transfer types.

What the values represent

The times shown are modelled reference values, not official airline Minimum Connection Times. They describe the minimum transfer time that is structurally plausible under defined assumptions, based on how the airport is organized and how passengers move through it. Different policy modes (Tight, Normal, Conservative) reflect varying levels of operational risk tolerance and safety margin, allowing the data to be interpreted in different planning contexts.

How the data can be used

These values are intended for planning, analysis, and risk assessment rather than booking validation. Typical use cases include network planning, itinerary quality analysis, operational risk modelling, and airport-to-airport comparisons. The data does not guarantee successful connections and should be interpreted as an analytical reference that highlights structural constraints and transfer complexity rather than real-time operational performance.

Note

Zones such as “Schengen” refer to the regulatory status of the onward flight, not to dedicated airport terminals or passenger areas.
